Chapter 858

In the past four years, the Dragon Regiment had been in chaos and was defeated. The situation in China had also been complicated by disputes between the Graham’s and the Leith’s.

Gregory’s path ahead would only be harder and more dangerous.

With this soft armor, at least it could sometimes guarantee his safety.

Vickie's mind was rambling on, and just then, that warm palm reached out again and held her hand silently in the dark.

As if their hearts were in tune with each other, they turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other again.

They both saw emotion and affection in each other's eyes.

Vickie was startled.

At that moment, she felt a sudden warm current surge through her heart.

A different kind of emotion grew from the bottom of her heart, which caused her to panic.

As she panicked, she pulled away from the hand she was holding and whispered, "Don't do this. We’re in public!"

The woman's shyness and reaction made the man's lips quirk up in pleasure.

He did not persist, but his hand was never withdrawn. It was idly placed there and she could touch it if she leaned slightly.

Vickie’s heart was a bit complex and did not dare to look at him again. She just turned her head towards the stage.

The few more items that came out were either equipment used by ancient emperors and lords, or precious jade and gemstones worn by concubines and queens.

Neither Gregory nor Vickie had any interest in them, so neither of them made a move.

Instead, Massimo Nolan ended up bidding a set of the finest red coral jewelry for Quincy.

As there were more items on auction that day, in the blink of an eye, two hours had already passed.

The host announced a 20-minute intermission before the second half of the auction began.

The crowd dispersed and started to head out to the hall outside to move around and rest.

Vickie and Gregory also went outside together.

Needless to say, Massimo and Quincy followed them. Perhaps because they were already familiar with each other, so Quincy did not look as bashful as when they first met. She was now laughing and joking with Massimo and the atmosphere was lively.

The four of them went to the hall outside, and soon, someone came to socialize with Gregory.

The other party was a balding middle-aged man with a big beer belly who came over with a glass of champagne and smiled.

"Congratulations, Mr. Graham! You've got the most precious thing today.”

Gregory faintly smiled, picked up his glass, and clinked it with him.

After finishing the drink, the other party smiled and said, "I wonder if Young Master Graham heard about another unique treasure that will appear as an auction item today."

Gregory raised his eyebrows and did not hide it.

"I know."

"Is that what brought Young Master Graham here as well?"

Gregory's gaze was devilish as he smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the vast majority of the people who came over today are only here for this."

He thought that the other party would be quite agreeable.

Unexpectedly, the man just sighed and shook his head. Then with a mysterious look, he leaned in and said, "Truth be told, I don't really believe in the legend of bringing the dead back to life. It's hard to say whether it’s useful or not, but now that everyone’s going crazy trying to snatch it up, it's no longer a lucky object."

Gregory’s eyes narrowed slightly.

After a while, he only said, "Good insight, Mr. Clinton."

The middle-aged man known as Mr. Clinton smiled shyly and said, "I came today just to take a look at this legendary treasure that has caused an uproar in the underground society. To be honest, although I've seen pictures of it online, I'm still curious about it."

Gregory faintly nodded his head.

The man might have realized that he had said too much, and Gregory had no intention of talking further with him.

He then said a few more words and left.

When he was there, Massimo had taken Quincy to the other side to look at some paintings.

As this hotel was owned by the Nolan’s, the art pieces inside were all genuine. Although Massimo was a frequent visitor, Quincy had never been here before, so he took her around.

At this time, Massimo saw that Mr. Clinton had left, then came over with a drink in hand.

"Gregory, what did that old bald *ss just say to you?"

Gregory gave him a faint glance and said, "He told me that the Arcane Jade was not a lucky object and said that he came over just out of curiosity and had no desire to fight for the treasure."

Massimo laughed coldly at his words.

He looked at the man's departing back, and said coldly, "If he doesn't want it, then the sun would rise from the west."

Vickie was surprised.

From his resentful tone, he seemed to have a grudge against this person.

Perhaps Massimo had noticed her puzzled gaze, so he explained, "He’s a relative from my mother's side. Earlier on when he knew that someone had booked our venue to hold this auction, he had been asking around to get the whereabouts of this treasure, and even tried to ask us to get the thing for him.

"Ha! Now that he saw Gregory here, he probably felt hopeless about getting the treasure, so he came over to get close and show his loyalty. It's simply disgusting."

Vickie listened to his explanation, and that's when it dawned on her. She smiled and echoed, "It's indeed quite disgusting."

Everyone was greedy. As it was inevitable in human nature, it was not shameful.

What was shameful was being unscrupulous, hypocritical, and so easily swayed. People like that made others sighed in contempt.

Once this was said, Massimo seemed to be interested in gossip. He looked around to make sure that no one was passing by and whispered, "Let me ask you a question. Do you know who’s the organizer of this auction?"

Spoiled by the President Chapter 857 Drawn To It Vickie and Gregory were both curious and raised their eyebrows.

"We don't know."

Usually, no matter what auction it was, the organizers would be made known.

However this time, the organizer’s name was left out from the invitations that were sent out. The invitations only contained the venue and time, as well as the photos of the auction items.

Moreover, they had only paid attention to the rare treasures that were to be auctioned off, so they did not notice the lack of the organizer’s name.

Massimo laughed and said, "It's not just you guys who don't know. I reckon that 99% of the people who came over today don't know either."

Gregory's face was cold and he said in a deep voice, "Stop beating around the bush."

Vickie also pursed her lips and agreed with Gregory.

Massimo was trying so hard to act profound and inscrutable, but his act was ruthlessly broken by Gregory, so he could not help but feel a little aggrieved.

He glanced at Gregory begrudgingly and said, "Alright, I'll tell you. It's the Flinders."

"What?"

"What?"

Vickie and Gregory shouted in unison, then looked at each other and saw incredulity in each other's eyes.

After all, outsiders did not know, but the two of them did.

Back then, the Dragon Regiment and the Vermillion Bird Organization had started a war over the Arcane Jade. In the end, both sides suffered heavy losses and the Arcane Jade was stolen amidst the chaos. It was nowhere to be found ever since.
